Very expressive pop of the cork leads to a tower of foam from a gentle pouring; hazed, pale golden color. Smells of salt-water taffy, lychee nuts and sun-burnt grass. Epic crispness, this is the kind of carbonation you want to see ... snappy with a bite. Very dry palate. Dry grassy grain and wild herb flavors mingle well in the beginning. Faint raw honey, white tea, light biscuit graininess and a chalky yeast are the core flavors here. Spicy herbal back end wraps up the bone-dry finish. Pretty complex and somewhat drinkable, and certainly within the style.

An enormous head on light yellow. Lacey. A little funky, and on the sweet side. Lemoney,honeyish, a soft though average mouthfeel, above average carbonation. Decent drinkability. Would like something a little bolder and tht would be more interesting.

Picked this up on a complete whim, looked kind of interesting. Lets see.

Poured into my Fantome Tulip.

Appearance: Pours a reddish, golden, orange. Minimal head which is a little unexpected for a saison. Not bottle conditioned. Quite active bubbling.

Smell: A lot of raspberry upfront with the saison in the background playing a secondary role. The raspberry is almost medicinal in smell, not quite, but almost.

Taste: Very very sweet, all I taste is raspberries. I could see this being a huge hit with non craft drinkers and more down the path of those who like wine coolers. Honestly the raspberry is all that is there. I am not offended by it, but it seems there is no real beer flavor. More like a desert. While it is cold there is a good amount of metallic flavor.

Mouthfeel: Nice and light and bubbly, good for the style.

Overall: Nothing special but as I said I feel this is something for those who do not like beer. Maybe a good thing to show someone who is not in to beer but you want to show that it can be more than that colorless odorless BMC. If the underlying saison stood out more and the raspberry took more of a back seat this could be a very interesting beer. At this point it is more like raspberry juice.

A: The saison is golden, clear, clearer than even a saison should be. The clear body makes it very bright. A finger of white head lasted for 3/4th of the glass.

S: The nose is very musty, chalky even, in its yeastiness. There aren't many other spices that stand out.

T: The saison is a little spicier based on my first sip. The yeastiness is still prevalent, creating the powdery musty flavor that the ale can't shake. Peppery spices and sweeter sugars do hang around but they aren't the centerpiece of the ale, they just can't shake the chalkiness.

M: The mouthfeel struggles to get started, chalky and musty and all.

D: Meh. It might work in a pinch but otherwise I wouldn't reach for one. There isn't enough saison-ness to stand out in a crowded field.

A: The beer is clear dark golden yellow in color and has a light amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a finger high white head that died down but consistently left a thin head covering the surface.S: The aroma isn’t that strong and has hints of spices.T: The taste is similar to the smell but isn’t quite as spicy and also has some hints of grainy malts.M: It feels light- to medium-bodied on the palate and has a high amount of carbonation along with a bit of dryness in the finish.O: This beer feels lighter bodied compared to other saisons and also has a weaker taste.

Appears a transparent light gold wth a 3 finger white head that quickly fizzles out. Tiny bits of lacing are left around the glass.Smell is of subtle funk, mild cork, rubber, juicy fruit gum, vanilla, cloves, and grains of paradise.Taste is of the aromas with an obvious Dupont yeast nod. Phenolic with spicy bubblegum and wheat standing out amongst the flavors.Mouthfeel is medium bodied, spritzy, earthy, mineral filled, a bit syrupy, and semi dry.

I must love saison's because this brew was fantastic except for the flaws I describe. The cork almost went through my ceiling. The fluffy white head was awesome but the color was a bit weird. Taste and aroma was kind of funky and very "Belgian". I loved the carbonation and mouthfeel. The 750 was gone in no time so the drinkability was there. Is it the best saison? No. Is it fun to drink and pretty tasty, yes.

A: Pours a crystal clear dark golden yellow (heading towards orange) in color. The beer has a two finger tall white head that reduces to a thin layer covering the entire surface of the beer with a thicker ring at the edges of the glass. Significant lacing is observed.

S: The overall smell is quite mild for this beer, there are definitely some hints of spices along with just a light note of brett-like funkiness. Also there is a hint of honey sweetness.

T: The flavor is also quite mild with some hints of light spiciness (maybe coriander). Not much of the funkiness that I would expect for the style. Some sweetness upfront.

M: Light to medium bodied with moderate to heavy amounts of carbonation. Dry in the finish.

O: Overall this beer is alright but nothing special and pales in comparison with some of the other saisons I have had recently. Unfortunately both the smell and the taste are a little too mild for me.

Kinda confused while reading some other reviews on this...either the recipe changed or this was mislabeled at the bar (possible since the Quotations staff doesn't exactly seem 100% on the ball). This was listed specifically as a raspberry saison, and that's definitely what it tasted like, though not many reviewers seem to be gleaning that from their respective sessions. Well...I'll just review it as it came to me.

Poured into a pint glass, a hazy, hazel brown with ruby tints, and a small head that receded to almost naught. Aroma was not too strong, but contained raspberry, toasted grains, and was slightly metallic, almost like a witbier. Raspberry up front in the taste, but not too overpowering; a leafy bitterness and a bit of musky hay follows soon after, providing some sense of balance, so that it doesn't come off too sweet. Light-medium mouthfeel, pretty mild, with a somewhat bland aftertaste, but still decent overall.

The pour on this brew was suprising impressive. It had a hazy, golden yellow color that had a decent degree of carbonation. I had an amazingly huge, white head that lasted throughout the brew. It has some great sticky lacing that followed down glass.

This brew was had a decent aroma as well. It had some great yeast, and a nice grainly/grassy aroma as well. I can detect some nice fruit aromas too. At the end, as the brew has warmed, there was a touch of sweet caramel as well.

The flavor of the brew is goo as well. It has a nice yeasty flavor. As the brew warms, it has a funkiness, as someone else put it. Its good, its got a nice sweet flavor as the fruits come forward, but then it balances out, with a bit of a hop bitterness. There is also that touch of grainy/grass flavors as well.

This was a nice crisp brew. It has a nice carbonation for medium bodied brew. Its something I enjoyed greatly

Might not be the best respresenation of the style, but still a great brew overall, by Brew Works, and once again, I will continue to try other brews by this brewery.

Big foam-up after popping the cork. Lots of suds and a very nice sprizzly mouthfeel. Hazy light amber in the tall Petrus glass. Quite rich on the tongue with loads of carbonation.

Flavors are tangy but slight. Yeasty, but not much hint of the Belgian flavors. Faintly fruity, grassy, a little touch of applejack. Wheaty like a Weisse, and slightly citrusy like a Wit. Has a kick at the end, not so much bitter, neither hops nor the Belgian stuff.

A pleasant quaff but not much for a Saison. More like a wandering and boozy version of a Wit. From the big bottle bought at Old Philly Ale House for $11.
